DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - President Bashar Assad said Tuesday he supports any international effort against terrorism, apparently trying to position his government on the side of the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria.

Assad's remarks came hours after the opening salvo in what the United States has warned will be a lengthy campaign to defeat the extremists who have seized control of a huge swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border. Damascus said the U.S. informed it beforehand that the strikes were coming.

D_G, Baseman, et al...this should answer your questions about U.S. cross borders bombing in Syria. Someone said this air strike will actually help Asaad, and indeed, he's on the coalition side. Rass, what a day make!
